Bolton Landing – I love running here in the summer especially for the views of Lake George (We keep our boat here so I only get to run here in the summer.)

The Crossings – another local park where I run.

Colonie Town Park – a park and a bike path

Corning Bike Path – nice flat route along the Hudson River

Chestertown/Brant Lake Along the Schroon River – another summer only spot (My friend has a house here and it’s not far from our boat.)

I am not really training for anything right now. My next half is on September 18. I have just been running short distances. Besides it’s hot and I am enjoying my scenery. But soon I will have to increase those weekend miles. Very soon!

Maybe someday we’ll have to go into NYC again & run on our own in Central Park so I don’t have to try to keep up. 🙂 Or persuade Denise to come with us!

Unfortunately right now my life is more in shambles than yours — talked with my mom yesterday, and they’re having some medical issues. Nothing life threatening, thankfully, but then when you’re their age . . .
